Lancome Color Design Infinite Shadow: Always Fuchsia

Here is a closer look at Lancome's new Color Design Infinité shadow in the shade Always Fuchsia -- a beautiful shimmery magenta with very fine silvery micro-sparkles. I don't own any shades that are exactly like Always Fuchsia, but found a few to compare that were somewhat similar. Although it is much more red-toned, I included L'Oreal's Glistening Garnet just in case anyone who owns that shade is curious about how it compares.

I am a big fan of this type of color (which I like to think of as boysenberry rather than fuchsia), especially for accessories, sweaters and scarves. I also love it for nail polish, particularly in non-metallic form. As an eye shadow, I think it looks great paired with smoky plum, eggplant, chocolate brown, or even copper, gold and bronze, and flatters any eye color.
